Comparison of weekly gluten immunogenic peptide measurement and conventional tools to assess adherence to the gluten-free diet in celiac disease: An observational prospective study.

Weekly stool GIP identifies gluten exposure that is not always detected by commonly used GFD adherence assessment methods. The higher the level of stool GIP, the better the predictive value of serology and dietitian interview. Stool GIP is a useful and practical test for GFD monitoring, particularly for risky gluten exposure in real life scenario.

Dairy consumption and incident prediabetes: prospective associations and network models in the large population-based Lifelines study.

In this large cohort of Dutch adults, low-fat milk intake was associated with higher prediabetes risk. Heterogeneous associations by dairy type and fat content might partly be attributed to confounding caused by behaviors and food intake related to dairy intake.

Serum selenium, selenoprotein P and glutathione peroxidase 3 during early and late pregnancy in association with gestational diabetes mellitus: prospective Odense Child Cohort.

Low serum selenium in pregnancy, particularly GPX3 activity is independently associated with the risk of GDM and LGA. Offering Se status assessment in pregnancy identifies females at high risk for GDM, who may benefit from Se substitution.

Adverse Events and Compliance Among Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients Treated With Home- vs Office-Based Biologic Infusions.

The home-based infusion of biologics for IBD appears safe with lower rates of major adverse events compared with office-based infusions. However, those receiving home infusion were less likely to receive correct weight-based dosing for infliximab and were poorly adherent to routine follow-up.

Crohn's Disease of the Ileoanal Pouch: A High Rate of Potential Overdiagnoses.

Re-evaluation of cross-sectional imaging of the pouch revealed that potential alternative causes were found in nearly half of CDP patients. Cross-sectional imaging is therefore recommended early in the diagnostic pathway to exclude an alternative diagnosis.

De Novo Crohn's Disease in Children With Ulcerative Colitis Undergoing Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis: A Multicenter, Retrospective Study From the Pediatric IBD Porto Group of the ESPGHAN.

Children with UC undergoing IPAA carry a high risk of developing subsequent CD. De novo CD cases showed decreased preoperative body mass index z scores, identifying a poor nutritional status as a possible predictive factor.

De Novo Crohn's Disease in the Pediatric Pouch.

The surgically altered environment of the ileal pouch is at risk of a spectrum of ileal pouch disorders, which have limited description in children. In this issue of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, a multicenter, retrospective study of children with UC who underwent IPAA and developed de novo CD highlights the challenges and opportunities of ileal pouch characterization in children.

Focus on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors-related Intestinal Inflammation: From Pathogenesis to Therapeutical Approach.

Herein, we performed an insight of the main IRAEs associated with ICIs, focusing on gastroenterological IRAEs and specifically on checkpoint inhibitor colitis, which represents the most widely reported IRAE to date. We comprehensively dissected the current evidence regarding pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of ICIs-induced colitis, touching upon also on innovative therapies.

Baseline TREM-1 Whole Blood Gene Expression Does Not Predict Response to Adalimumab Treatment in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease in the SERENE Studies.

Baseline TREM-1 gene expression did not uniformly predict adalimumab response in SERENE clinical trials. Further research is needed to identify potential blood-based biomarkers predictive of response to anti-TNF therapy in patients with IBD.

Deep learning models capture histological disease activity in Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis with high fidelity.

Deep learning models based upon GHAS and Geboes scoring systems were effective at distinguishing between the presence and absence of IBD microscopic disease activity.

Validation of the pharmacokinetic model for anti- TNFa clearance in infants exposed to anti- TNFa during pregnancy.

The validity of the anti-TNFa clearance model is high, and hence can be used to guide clinicians regarding timing of live vaccines in infants exposed to adalimumab or infliximab in utero.

Liver Transpl

Decreased need for RRT in liver transplant recipients after pretransplant treatment of hepatorenal syndrome-type 1 with terlipressin.

The post-transplant need for RRT, at 12 months, was significantly lower among those patients who received terlipressin and were alive at Day 365, compared to placebo (p=0.009). Pre-transplant treatment with terlipressin plus albumin in patients with HRS-1 decreased the need for RRT pre- and post-transplant.

The impact of health literacy on adolescent and young adult pediatric liver transplant recipients.

This study demonstrates that limited HL is associated with decreased measures of TR. Inadequate HL may be an unrecognized barrier to successful HCT. Regular assessment of HL may provide an opportunity for intervention prior to transfer of care. Future studies should investigate the impact of these interventions on long-term medical outcomes.

Factors Associated With Serial Lipase Measurement in Hospitalized Patients With Acute Pancreatitis.

More than one-third of AP patients undergo serial lipase measurements. This practice is more likely to occur on surgical services and in nontertiary hospitals.

Pancreatic Cancer Cells May Adhere to the External Surface of the Puncture Needle After Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration.

Pancreatic cancer cells may adhere to the puncture needle's external surface after EUS-FNA. Wiping the needle with alcohol swabs after each puncture effectively removes residual cancer cells.

Predictive Value of Antithrombin III and d-Dimer in the Development of Moderate-To-Severe Acute Pancreatitis: A Prospective, Observational Study (AT-PROPANC).

Low AT-III and high d-dimer plasma levels at 24 hours after admission were significantly associated with MSAP/SAP, although their predictive ability was low. C-reactive protein was the best marker tested. Clinical study identifier ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02373293.

Retrospective Evaluation of the Efficacy of Gemcitabine-Based Therapies After FOLFIRINOX Failure in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer, Multi-Center Real-Life Data.

In conclusion, it has been shown that gemcitabine-based second-line treatments contribute to survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. In addition, there was no difference in efficacy between gemcitabine monotherapy or combination treatments.

Trends and clinical characteristics of pediatric acute pancreatitis patients in Japan: A comparison with adult cases based on a national administrative inpatient database.

Pediatric cases were more frequently transferred from other institutions and treated at academic hospitals than adults (both P < 0.001). There was an upward trend in the proportion of AP among al admissions in pediatrics, with a lower risk of complications and mortality than adult cases.
